Today is November 27th, 2010 and the new Christmas Shopping Season has been in full swing now for almost two weeks.Hard to believe right, what ever happened to waiting until December for this to happen. The stores are all decorated and lite and the sales began in earnest it seems, do these retailers really believe the American People will spend more money is you have more sales over longer period of time? If so they may find themselves sin for a rude awaking this year. The unemployment numbers are not changing much and jobs are hard to find, money is tight and the American dollar does not go as far as before. Wake up folks the average American is now in greater debt then ever in history and the American dollar is at the lowest point it has ever been at or worth. Ah no one listens anyway anymore, it is no longer a we against the world attitude in the U.S.A. it is now the me, me, me generation sadly.
Ah it is like I told one car dealer and repair shop. you consolidated your three dealerships into one and now it takes three days to get fixed what used to take just one and it costs us more too why? Its the American solution to everything shrink it down and combine it and it will save us money as a business right but not the consumer that’s for sure.
Ah, that’s life I guess. As time flies by I have come to realize I am now getting older and feeling it more. My body aches in places it would never have before and old injuries slow me down. New injuries pop up as do illnesses that stop me from doing what I want. But most of all changes do happen more often then not it seems. But I rant about injuries, Veteran’s Benefits or lack there of and more on a daily basis but few listen to me, I am the little guy on the totem pole so to say.
Interestingly, recently I had a conversation with a friend about the Obama Presidency that disturbs me. I asked a simple question, how can the American people elect a President and give him two years to correct a mess it took his predecessor eight years to create? It won’t happen folks, and never could. I said this before and I shall say it again, President William J. Clinton left office and we were billions in the black and healthy, President Bush took over and 8 years later we are now trillions in debt instead of billions in the black, and you all want Obama to solve this mess in 24 months, no way. Wake up America!
